Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan during Sullivan's three-day visit to China, which aimed to maintain open communications amid increasing tensions between the two nations. The visit included discussions on issues such as Taiwan, U.S.-China military relations, China's support for Russia, and efforts to prevent conflict over contentious topics like the South China Sea.

Both sides emphasized the importance of responsibly managing the relationship.
